Stockings of the Period.

There is very little new in hosiery
this year, except that the black dyes
are really fast now, and that manu-
facturcrs have been turning their
attention to making the hose dura-
Bile as well as good-loolling, hence
very many Of them are spliced and
have double heels, so that you may
wear shoes without any fear of the
tops cutting at the back of the ankle,
or of toes poking through before
their time.
Laced stockings have been brought
out, and are liked by those who OBJ
Jet to carriers and who have not yet
adopted suspcnders. The front of
the stocking is slit from the top to
the knee, strengthened by a facing,
and laced with smooth lacing-
string. This lacing prevents the
stocking from slipping down, at the
some time causing it to fit neatly
above the knee.
Plain-colorcd stockings exactly
matching the dress are the most
fashionable, some plain wove, some
ribbed, but this year the ribs are
wider
Still open-rib and deliberately en-
broidorcd stockings are worn by
those who can afford them, espec-
tally with shoes.
If you want a good-wcaring wool
len stocking, get one made Of alpaca
wool, why, light, warm and strong.
If you desire to match dress,
and not take Il great deal of wear
out of them, there is new make of
cheap, pure silk stockings, brought
out in all colors.
Bilbriggan, wooden, silk and spun
are the choice Of stockings for win
ter wear.
Americans ami Parisians affect the
stockings striped from top to toe,
with two culors or black and Il color.
People with weak circulations will
like to know they can have spun
silk stockings with hcecy Innings,

DISCOURAGED AT THE OuTsEr.-A
Stranger who was quietly looking
over water power in Western
village was sought out by the Mayor
who said:
81 hear you think of starting a
factory"
YES

our people all right. We don't put
ON any great amount of style, nor
don't aim to. Here's pair of sus-

Rheumatics.

Ofthe feet and limbs particular
care should be taken. The shoes or
boots-boots are the best-ought to
be strong, of the best leather, and
roomy enough to admit warm
worsted sock or stocking. These
should be seft, and on no account
should be worn after they become
damp, with perspiration or other
wise. Those who suffer from chron-
ic rheumatism have often weak
right hearts; the blood does not find
its way back from the feet with cell
Gritty; and heat and perspiration are
the results. Thousands of people
not only catch cold, but positively
catch their deaths through the feet.
Why will they not be warned?
Socks and stockings are cheap
enough, yet l know many who
spend dollars on their back, and
begrudge cents on their feet. Two
pairs of stockings or stocks week.
This is not enough, reader. If you
are subject to rheumatism, or have
an idiosyncrasy that points that way
or if you are ever troubled with
acidity or heartburn, change the
socks once a day. If you do, you
will live to bless the "Family Doc
tor" for giving you this hint,
Flannel underclothing-or call it
wool-is not a cure for chronic rheu-
matism, but it is SO sure a proven
tive that l am justified in urgently
recommending its use. Nay, fur
ther, without holding extrems views
like the German doctor, l would
advise patients who are subject to
rheumatism or rheumatic govt to
adopt the wooden system of clothing
almost entirely, both by day andIby
night. There is no reason at all
why the sheets of the bed should
not be of wool, pillow-cases alone
being linen. Ifthis plan were adopt
ed, there would be but little chance,
indeed, of catching a chill in bed.
1 would carry my scheme of wool
en- day clothing so far as to permit
neither linen next to the skin nor
except on particular and unavoid-
able dress occasions, linen anywhere
and the same rule should be car
ried out summer aud winter.

An Ingenious Swindle.

AS~indle recently detected is con-
Quoted as follows: A check, say for
ten dollars, is obtained from a de-
posltor at II bank, and Il blank
check exactly like the filled-in
check is secured. The two checks
are lad one upon the other, so that
the edges are exactly even. Both
checks are then torn irrcnularly
across, and in such way that the
signature ON the filled checl; appears
on one piece and the amount and
name OF the payee on the other.
The checks having been held togeth-
er while being torn, of course one
piece of the blank check will exact
ly fit the other piece of the filed
check. The swindler then fills in
one piece Of the blank check with
the name of the payce and the
amount to suit himself, say five
thousand dollars takes it with the
piece of genuine check containing
the signature Of the bank, and ex-
plains that the check was accident
ally torn. The teller can put the
pieces together, and as they fit exact
ly, the chances are that he will
think the pieces are parts of the
same check, and become Il victim of
the swindle. The trick, of course,
suggests its own remedy. The teller
should refuse 10 pay any check that
is mutilatcd.

Bismarck's First Decoration.

While he was serving in the tn
Ian Calvary, in 1912, his groom, who
was the son of forester ON his
estate, rode into the lake to give the
horse a bath. Missing his footing,
the rider was thrown, and disappear
ed in the water. Bismark was stand
ing with group of officers on the
bridge, and saw his sinking groom.
In an instant his sword and uni
form were on the ground, and he
leaped into the lake. He found the
the struggling man, and seized him.
But in the blind agony Of a drown
ing man he chung so tightly to his
master that Bismarck, helpless, was
obliged to dive with his burden to
loosen his hold. 1t seemed both
were lost. But, soon after, bubbles
rose to the surface, followed by Bis
marok, who in the depths had de-
tached the grip of the man, and now
appeared dragging his groom with
him, and swan to the shore. The
inanimate form was restored to
life, and the following day to duty.
For this act he afterward received
the Prussian medal for Rescue from
Peril" which was his first decora-
ton; and he proudly wore it when
he had none other Nor has he since
abandoned it, for it finds its place
still amid the highest orders which
European monarchs have since
showered upon his breast His
friends are fond of telling his answer
to much-decorated diplomatist
who, seeing this lovely medal on his
young colleagues coat, inquired what
decoration it was. Herr Won Bis
mark. who at that time, had no
title and had earned no courtly deco
ration. looked him hard in the eye
and said: 81 am in the habit some
times of saving mans life.

READY ToD1E.

Most people want to live. When
the ills of life Cypress them they
think of the rest of the grave with a
feeling akin to longing, but are like
the man who was carrying a heavy
load of sticks, and muca worried
called upon Death to relieve him.
Death came, with his scythe, and
stood ready TO receive orders from
the poor fellow, But when he saw
his wish about to be gratifed he
shrank in terror, and life looked
fairer to him. 81 .only called you
to help me up with my bundle of
sticks again" he said to Death. And
shouldering his burden he was glad
to pursue his way once more.
The people of Southern Indiana
perhaps remember a woman who
made the confession before all the
world once at camp meeting that
she was happy enough to die.
The preacher, after Il thrilling ex-
hortation, called upon all who were
perfectly happy to rise. Everybody
got up. Then he said; "All who
love the Lord, are perfectly happy
and want to die and 90 to Heaven
remain standing. The rest may sit
down.
A gaunt creature, with hollow
eyes and closely wrapped in a faded
shawl, remained alone of all the
congregation. She was the exhor-
ter's fifth wife.

The Only Way to Conquer Dyspepsia.

1t IS perfectly preposterous to Introduce
pepsin and other artificial solvents into
the stomach, in the expectation that they
VIII assist digestion by acting on the food
itself. They will not. Nor is it possible
thus to overcome dyspepsia. Tile only
way to conquer that disorder, and pre-
vent the numerous diseases and disabil-
ties which it assuredly provokes, is to
renew the activity of gastric action bv
strengthening the stomach. Hostctters

yeteratc forms Of indigestion by restoring

perties that greatly enhance its beneficial

effects which they would not otherwise
